+ − Blocks of type "LTPDA Block" (MBlock), "Subsystem Block" (MSubsystem), "MATLAB Expression Block" (MATBlock),
+ − "Terminal Block" (MTerminal) all have input ports or output ports, or both.
+ − </p>
+ − <p>
+ − These ports are connected together with "pipes" (MPipe is the underlying java class). Output ports
+ − can have more than one pipe connected; input ports can have only one pipe at a time. The binding object
+ − between a port and pipe is a "node" (MNode is the underlying java class). Nodes are displayed as small
+ − black circles.
